Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The present invention relates to an automatic paper storage device such as a paper storage device in a vending machine, particularly for three or more types of paper sheets of multiple P1 types. The present invention relates to a device configuration that allows easy separate storage of items.

[Prior art and its problems]

As the products handled by vending machines have become more expensive in recent years, vending machines with a vine-like structure that use multiple denominations of paper are becoming more popular. It is necessary to have a paper waste storage device that separates paper waste into pieces, and conventionally, such paper waste storage devices allow easy removal of paper waste and easy counting of the amount of frozen paper waste. In order to make this possible, it is customary to configure the paper stack so that it is automatically stacked and stored in a predetermined posture. FIG. 6 shows the main parts of the conventional storage device arranged in this manner, and the sections shown in the figure and the section shown in FIG. 6 each show different operating states.

In FIG. 6, reference numeral 2 denotes a cylindrical body of the paper storage device 1, and 3 denotes upper ribs 4, which protrude from both inner surfaces, facing each other.
A rectangular parallelepiped storage box is provided with 4 and lower ribs 5, 5 and is fixed to the housing 2 by means not shown; 6 is between the ceiling plate 3a of the storage box 3 and the upper ribs 4, 4; 7 is the bottom plate 3b of the storage box 3.
A lower storage section 8 is a space formed between the ribs 4, 4 and the lower ribs 5, and 8 is a paper introduction section as a space formed between the ribs 4, 4 and the ribs 5, 5. 9 is a piece of paper introduced into the paper introduction section 8 from the front side of the lower surface, and this paper introduction 9
is fed into the introduction section 8 by a paper conveyance device provided in front of the abrasive surface. Reference numeral 10 denotes a cantilever-shaped bushing with a rectangular cross section, the supporting end of which is provided outside the back of the storage box 3 and is reversibly driven up and down by a drive mechanism (not shown); W is a bushing; 10, this width Wp is formed narrower than the opposing distance Wd between the ribs 4.4, and the opposing distance between the ribs 5, 5 is formed approximately equal to ~d. The width ~ ■ d is formed narrower than the width Wm of the Gioki 9, and the internal width ~ ■ c of the storage box 3 is the paper width 'g.
It is formed to be slightly wider than W m. Although not shown, the back plate of the storage box 3 is provided with a groove because the bushing 10 moves up and down as described above. 11 is 4i on the upper ribs 4, 4! The plate-like metal upper presser plate 12 is a plate-like lower presser plate made of a full area that is pressed against the lower surface of the lower rib 55 by a spring 13.

The paper storage device 1 is composed of the above-mentioned parts.
When a paper is about to be introduced into the introduction section 8 by the above-mentioned paper transfer device, if the paper is of a denomination that should be stored in the upper storage section 6, a control device (not shown) first sends a command to the pusher drive mechanism. As a result, the bushing 10 waits in the lower storage portion 7 with the lower pressing plate 12 pressed down, as shown in No. 694. Then, the paper 9 is introduced into the introduction part 8, and when this introduction is completed, the button 10 is inserted into the lower rib 5.
, 5 and rises. Therefore, the paper stack 9 is lifted up while being placed on the pusher 10. The bushing 10 continues to rise further and finally passes between the ribs 4, 4, so that both ends of the paper 9 are at the ribs 4, 4.
When the bushing 10 moves upward and passes upward between the arms 4 and 4, the deflection of the paper wall 9 is restored due to its own elasticity. When the button 10 reaches the upper surface of the ribs 4, 4, the button 1
The paper stack 9 and the upper presser plate 11 are stacked on top of each other, and the pusher 10 is stacked like this.
! It further rises with the paper that has been bent back at J, and when it reaches the upper limit 1, it moves downward and eventually the ribs 4, 4
It passes through the darkness and reaches introduction section 8, where it stops. Therefore, when the bushing 10 descends between the ribs 4.4, the bottom 49 placed on the bushing remains pressed by the weight of the pressing plate 11 directly above the ribs 4,4. Subsequently, when a paper of the denomination to be stored in the storage section 6 is about to be introduced into the introduction section 8, the button 10 first moves to the lower storage section 7 and then performs the above-mentioned haiku movement, so in this case. The paper waste introduced into the introduction section 8 is stacked on the lower side of the paper waste previously left on the upper surface of the ribs 4, 4 in the upper storage section 6. 14 are arranged in the storage section 6 in this way,
There is a problem with the stored upper YT layer.

When the paper to be introduced into the introduction section 8 by the above-mentioned paper conveyance device is of a denomination that should be stored in the lower storage section 7, the pusher 10 is moved to a rear position (not shown) and a pusher drive @P1 structure. From this point, the paper is first moved to the upper storage section 6 and stands by, and when the introduction of the paper into the introduction section 8 is completed, it is lowered and the introduced paper into the lower storage section 7 due to the force of the spring 13. It operates to push against the pressing force. The pusher 10, which has descended in this manner so as to press the paper against the lower pressing plate 12, eventually reaches the lower limit position and then rises and stops within the introduction section 8. Therefore, due to the pusher 10 operating in this manner, paper waste occurs in the lower storage section 7 as well as in the storage section 6. It is obvious that there is no need to explain again that they are arranged and stored. Reference numeral 15 designates the lower laminated paper sheets stored in the storage section 7 in this manner.

In the paper waste storage device 1, paper waste of two types of denominations are separately stored in storages @6 and 7, and these storages are in a stacked state. Therefore, such a storage device has the advantage that it is easy to take out the stored paper waste and calculate the amount of the removed paper waste. However, in recent years, there has been a demand for vending machines that can handle paper scraps of more than average denominations, and in such cases, when trying to separate and store paper scraps using the paper scrap storage device 1, the storage device 1 In addition, a device for conveying paper waste according to the denomination to the plurality of storage devices 1 is also required, so there is a problem that the zero-start vending machine becomes a large and complicated dovetail groove. .

Since this path is interrupted, it is confirmed by the interrupter 36 that the paper waste 9 has been transferred to the belt conveyance path 192. As described above, since the belt conveyance path 192 is positioned such that its upper surface is within the paper introduction section 242 of the paper storage box 21, the belt conveyance path 192
9 is introduced into the paper introduction section 242, and the detection lever 34 is configured to return when the paper passes through this introduction completion position, and this return is detected by the photointerrupter 36. By doing this, the #AfItJ pulley 183a is stopped. Although not shown, a detection lever such as the inspection mark lever 34 is connected to the drive pulleys 182a and 1.

The paper storage device [16] is configured as described above, and the paper storage box 21 is moved to the upper limit position by the storage box drive mechanism 33. The paper is transported upward by the main transport path 18, and at this time, depending on the denomination of the paper 9, the transport path switching machine #$
201, 202, and 203 are operated, the paper waste is transferred to one of the belt conveyance paths 191, 192, and 193, and introduced into the corresponding paper waste introduction section 241, 242, and 243. g3ig shows a state in which the paper waste 9 is introduced into the introduction section 243 in this manner. When the paper waste 9 is introduced into the introduction section 243, for example, the main conveyance path 18 and the belt conveyance paths 191 to 193 stop operating, and then the storage box 21 is lowered by the storage box drive mechanism 33. Therefore, the opposing rib 223 approaches the paper stack 9 placed on the conveyor belt 193C, bends both ends of the paper stack 9, and further descends. Opposing rib 22

When the storage box 21 is further lowered and both ends of the bent paper edge 9 come out onto the upper surface of the opposing rib 223, the deflection of the paper edge is restored by the elasticity of the paper edge. FIG. 4 shows the state at this time. The storage box 21 continues to move downward, and after reaching the lower limit position, moves upward.

Therefore, in this case, the belt conveyance path 193 relatively passes downward through the opposing space of the opposing rib 223, but the paper 9 is pressed against the upper surface of the opposing rib 223 by the weight of the presser plate No. 40, so that the rib 223 rises. rises with

In other words, the paper stack 9 is attached to the opposing rib 2 in the paper stack storage section 253.
23 and is pressed down and stored on the upper surface of the holding plate 403. When the storage box 21 reaches the upper limit position, the storage box stops moving, and the main transport path 18, the belt transport paths 191 to 193, and the transport path switching mechanism 201 are switched again.
~ 203 operates and the paper is changed depending on the denomination introductory part 241 ~
243, and then the storage box 21 is moved up and down to store the paper waste. At this time, the paper fails again in the introduction section 24.
3, this paper waste is stored between the upper surface of the opposing rib 223 and the previously stored paper waste, so it is stored @
The parts stored in 253 will be stored in the laminated form. In the same way, paper sheets are stacked and stored in storage parts 25 and 251, and paper sheets 411, 412, and 4i3 are stored in storage parts 251, 252, and 253 in this way, respectively.
It is a failure.

In the paper storage device fR16, the paper storage operation is performed as described above, so three types of paper paper are stacked and stored according to denomination in the storage box 21, and the Giben stored in this way is stored in the storage box 21 by the door. In addition to having the same advantage as that of the conventional paper storage device, which allows storage by opening 26, it also has the advantage of being able to separate and store three-da denomination paper storage devices with a single storage device with a simple structure. be.

In FIG. 5, when the product 1 - 411 reaches the 4th angle d, the tip 37a of the detection lever is pressed by the pressing plate 401 and the photointerrupter 38 operates ÷b. That is, the full detection switch 39 is a switch that detects whether the paper storage section 251 is full or stored by the stacked paper storage 411, and when this switch 39 is operated, the paper φ storage operation is automatically stopped. This storage device 16 is constructed such that, although not shown, support detection switches for the storage Ws 252 and 253 are provided on a frame 193a and a ceiling plate 21a, respectively. The full detection ro<:3 like switch 39 is
This mechanism detects the sake cup, and as a result, when the door 26 is opened and the laminated paper is taken out from the storage section, the photointerrupter 387)S returns, so according to #cupejoy@shuku, the laminated paper is taken out. It has the advantage of being able to detect when something is wrong.

In the above-described embodiment, the storage device 16 separates and stores three types of waste paper.98 The present invention includes a belt conveying path,
By increasing the number of conveyance path switching mechanisms and the number of sets of opposing ribs, it is possible to separate and store more than four types of paper. By reducing the number of switching di and the number of opposing ribs, it is also possible to separate and store paper of type 1. Note that it is obvious that the present invention is applicable not only to paper sheet storage devices but also to other suitable paper sheet storage devices.
